SERVSWITCH™ MULTI

9.2.4THE COMMAND-LINE-ENTRY WINDOW

You can access the Command-Line-Entry Window (shown in Figure 9-3) by pressing the [Ctrl] key twice, then pressing [Alt] + [Tab] twice. (System administrators will have to press [Alt] + [Tab] three times, because they have to bypass the User-List Menu—see Section 9.2.2.) You can also access this window by pressing the <CM> Command Mode hotkey sequence (see Sections 8.2.1 and 8.12); in fact, whenever the Command-Mode sequence is pressed on a computer attached to a UICD, this window pops up.
